This study aimed to determine the effect of using visual-auditory video media on the poetry writing ability of eleventh-grade students at SMK Negeri 1 Warureja. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a nonequivalent control group design. The research population consisted of 69 students divided into two classes: XI Accounting 1 as the control class with 34 students and XI Accounting 2 as the experimental class with 35 students. Data were collected through poetry writing tests administered in the pretest and posttest stages, as well as documentation during the learning process. The poetry assessment instrument included aspects of theme, diction, imagination, figurative language, and coherence of content. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the nonparametric Mann–Whitney test. The results showed that the average score of the experimental class was 69.86, which was higher than that of the control class with an average score of 57.94. The Mann–Whitney test results indicated a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05, meaning that there was a significant difference between the two classes. Therefore, the use of visual-auditory video media was proven to have a significant effect on students' poetry writing ability. This media helps students improve their imagination, facilitates idea generation, and makes the learning process more engaging and less monotonous.   Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh penggunaan media video visual-auditori terhadap kemampuan menulis puisi siswa kelas XI SMK Negeri 1 Warureja.
